Is it really that Congress is thought of so poorly by Americans that they rate
"all of them" with a 14% approval rating?
And exactly how was that question posed by the pollster who asked it anyway? Whatever the case --- you aren't the only ones who want the Democratic Party to have the majority that it sorely needs!
Dems crush GOP in money game By: Jeanne Cummings

From almost any angle, Republicans are facing a Democratic financial tsunami in 2008.
In the first six months of this year, Democratic federal candidates and the party's three national committees raised $381 million compared with the $291 million their counterparts collected. That amounts to a $90 million advantage and means that 57 percent of the total raised by all political candidates and committees has gone to the Democrats.
When the cash on hand is added up for presidential, House and Senate candidates, as well as the party committees, the picture is even bleaker. Overall, Democrats reported having $314 million in cash compared with the Republicans' $190 million, which means that 62 percent of the political cash is now held in Democratic accounts.
What does that mean at political micro-levels? The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has a 10-1 cash advantage over its Republican adversary, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has a cash advantage that is three times greater than the National Republican Senatorial Committee's take.

While the MSM may want you to believe that it's the Democratic members that are completely responsible for the low approval of Congress, don't be so sure about that.. this donkey may be changing that '06 monogram sooner than you think!
